Clarks classifieds is the best way to go. You can do fine on ebay but it's more of a crap shoot. I bought a SB 290 that looked mint but when i got it the tips were short a bit and all sections had sets in them and the reel seat was cracked. Then i bought one that looked like it needed some serious TLC, when i received it, it was straight as an arrow and full length. Just needed new varnish.
With Clarks you have better piece of mind. Most sellers give you 3 days inspection period, if you don't like it - send it back. Also, don't be afraid to post a "Wanted to Buy" post. You'll get lots of responses.
